Frequently asked questions about darkside.dot

Can I move a .PAY domain between registrars for online checkout?

Transfers may be subject to registry, registrar and phase-specific rules, especially for LRP names. Start with domain.pay for the registration path and confirm eligibility before any transfer plan: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pre-order darkside.dot if my trademark application is still pending?

Trademark-priority for darkside.dot requires a TMCH SMD file, which the Trademark Clearinghouse issues only for validated marks, so a pending application alone may not qualify for darkside.dot. You can still place a standard pre-order for darkside.dot meanwhile. Choose a path at https://domain.pay/register.

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for payroll disbursements?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Is trademark priority on darkside.dot guaranteed if my SMD is valid?

A valid SMD makes your claim on darkside.dot eligible for trademark priority, but if other validated holders of the darkside.dot mark also claim it, the registry's published rules decide the outcome. A valid SMD is necessary, not always a sole guarantee. Submit your SMD-backed claim at https://domain.pay/register.

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my mobile money project?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For mobile money, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
